STRIPPERS CHANGED BRAD PITT'S LIFE

People reports:

On Brad Pitt's road to Hollywood, it helped to have strippers in the passenger seat. Talking about one of his first jobs at Newsweek's annual Oscar roundtable Saturday in Hollywood, Pitt said, "My job was to drive them to bachelor parties and things. I'd pick them up, and at the gig I'd collect the money, play the bad Prince tapes and catch the girls' clothes. It was not a wholesome atmosphere, and it got very depressing."

But it was not without its perks: Just before quitting, Pitt made a critical show business contact. "This girl – I'd never met her before – was in an acting class taught by a man named Roy London," a famous acting coach, he said, according to excerpts in this week's Newsweek. "I went and checked it out, and it really set me on the path to where I am now."

He added: "Strippers changed my life."

It can get depressing? Well, I suppose things could take a turn for the worse when a client gives you a dollar and asks for change back. Or when the sweaty, fat bald man with stains on his wifebeater thinks you’ve got a “connection” or when someone’s wife shows up at the door when you’re in the middle of a lapdance and you he runs out and you have to make his wife give you the money while she calls you a whore and stares at your tits. I’m just guessing, though.

What? Don’t you judge me.
